Mirror supplier in Norway?

Does anyone know where I could get a cheap mirror in the US?
-
@dakipro Well foile can be used but you have to get a hi D number or else you will not see the screen. You will need to buy from a solar window tint provider for homes. This is the clearest http://www.vindusfolie-nettbutikk.no/shop/product/silver-35-ext-solfilm?tm=solfilm-til-hus
Hope this helps

@Phantom have you tested this? I’m wondering about the reflective properties. Will the reflection be too dark (ie no wife acceptance)…
-
@Cato No i have never tested it my self but i have seen it done with great sucess. I my self use costum made mirror glas https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1251/custom-magic-mirror-glas-with-27-touchfoil-and-27-led-screen-for-sale
-
@Phantom The problem, I discovered when I built my mirror, is that it might look OK up until you compare it to a normal mirror. Then you see the reflection is darker.
-
@Cato Yes that why i use the costum glas. But i think the film will give very good reflection, you have just two way mirror film to but not in norway.
-
@Phantom takk, I will check it out. I do not see D number in their specs, only B G and U. I read once on those numbers, but I cannot seem to find it now on the forum.

Anyone got success with the foil from vindusfolie butikken?
-
I decided to try to find actual glass mirror first. Have sent email to 4-5 companies that sell windows and mirrors, still waiting for someone to answer.
I hope that something like this could be used http://www.vgi.no/default.asp?pageid=10651 -
I got few offers from glass and mirror suppliers in Norway from 1900kr to 5000kr for piece of two way mirror (argusspeil/spionspeil) size 60x80cm.
Most offers were around 2000kr (220e) and I am now evaluating is it worth it.
Foil with a simple piece of glass is half the price, but I am really afraid that I will get bubbles with the foil and that foil will be damaged after some time.I have also found mirrored plexiglass for around 40e, but I am afraid of reflection being skewed and look ugly, and that would irritate me a lot. Maybe to use regular glass behind the plexiglass (just to keep plexiglass straight if possible)
Not sure yet… total price for mirror will be over 350e… still convincing myself (and the spouse :) )
